Six members of the House of Representatives from Delta State on Tuesday announced their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Similarly, two lawmakers from Enugu State also dumped the Labour Party (LP) for the PDP.
Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abbas, announced the defections during Tuesday’s plenary session.
The Delta Reps who defected from the PDP included Victor Nwokolo, Julius Pondi, Thomas Ereyitomi, Nicholas Mutual, Ukodhiko Jonathan, and Nnamdi Ezechi.
While the defectors from Enugu state are Mark Obetta and Rep. Denis Nnamdi.
In desperate letters, the lawmakers said they decided to quit their former parties due to the unresolved crisis and parallel leadership in the state.
